The present application relates to novel P2X7R antagonists that are indol-3 carboxamide and azaindol-3 carboxamide compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to their use in the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of diseases and disorders mediated by P2X7R.

BACKGROUND

P2X7R is an ATP-gated ion channel belonging to the P2X ionotropic channel family. The gene was first isolated from rat brain (Surprenant et al. (1996) 272:735-738) and subsequently from a human monocyte library (Rassendren et al. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272:5482-5486; Genbank accession numbers NM_(—)002562, Y09561) by virtue of its sequence homology with the other members of the P2X family. It was later found that P2X7R corresponded to the unidentified P2Z receptor which mediates the permeabilising action of ATP on mast cells and macrophages (Dahlqvist and Diamant (1974) Acta Physiol. Scand. 34:368-384; Steinberg and Silverstein (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262:3118-3122; Gordon (1986) Biochem. J. 233:309-319). The P2X7R has two hydrophobic membrane-spanning domains, an extracellular loop, and forms transmembrane ion channels. P2X7R bears a pharmacological profile markedly different from other P2X homo- or heteromers (North and Surprenant (2000) Annual Rev. Pharmacology Toxicology 40:563-580). P2X7R requires levels of ATP in excess of 1 mM to achieve activation, whereas other P2X receptors activate at ATP concentrations of ≦100 μM (Steinberg et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262:8884-8888; Greenberg et al. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263:10337-10343). While all P2X receptors demonstrate non-selective channel-like properties following ligation, the channels formed by the P2X7R can rapidly transform into pores that can allow the passage of molecules of up to 900 Dalton (Virginio et al. (1999) J. Physiol. 519:335-346).

P2X7R is expressed in haematopoietic cells, mast cells, lymphocytes, erythrocytes, fibroblast, Langerhans cells, and macrophages (Surprenant et al., 1996, Science 272:3118-3122). In the central nervous system, P2X7R expression has been reported in glial cells, Schwann cells, astrocytes, as well as in neurons (Ferrari et al. (1996) J. Immunol 156:1531-1539; Collo et al. (1997) Neuropharmacology 36: 1277-1283; Anderson and Nedergaard (2006) Trends Neuroscien 29: 257-262).

P2X7R is involved in the regulation of the immune function and inflammatory response. Activation of P2X7R by ATP in macrophages is associated with mitogenic stimulation of T cells (Baricordi et al. (1996) Blood 87:682-690), the release of cytokines (Griffiths et al. (1995) J. Immol. 154:2821-2828), and formation of macrophage polykarions (Falzoni et al. (1995) J. Clin. Invest. 95:1207-1216). P2X7R is involved in the processing and release of active interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) from proinflammatory cells (Perregaux and Gabel (1998) J Biol Chem 269:15195-15203; Ferrari et al., (2006) J Immunol 176: 3877-3883). Stimulation of the P2X7R by ATP can also result in apoptosis and cell death by triggering the formation of non-selective plasma membrane pores (Di Virgilio et al. (1998) Cell Death Differ. 5:191-199).

Upregulation of P2X7R has been observed during ischemic damage and necrosis induced by occlusion of middle cerebral artery in rat brain (Collo et al. (1997) Neuropharmacol 36:1277-1283). Recent studies indicate a role of P2X7R in the generation of superoxide in microglia, and upregulation of P2X7R has been detected around amyloid plaques in a transgenic mouse models for Alzheimer's disease (Parvathenani et al. (2003) J Biol Chem 278:13300-13317) and in multiple sclerosis lesions from autopsy brain sections (Narcisse et al. (2005) Glia, 49:245-258).

Studies from mice lacking P2X7R resulted in absence of inflammatory and neuropathic hypersensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli, indicating a link between P2X7R and inflammatory and neuropathic pain (Chessell et al. (2005) Pain 114:386-396). Antagonists of P2X7R significantly improved functional recovery and decreased cell death in spinal cord injury in animal models (Wang et al. (2004) Nature Med 10:B21-B27).

Compounds which modulate P2X7R have been reported. For example, Brilliant Blue (Jiang et al., Mol. Phamacol. 58 (2000), 82-88), the isoquinolines 1-[N,O-Bis(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-N-methyl-L-tyrosyl]-4-phenylpiperazine and N-[1-[N-methyl-p-(5 isoquinolinesulfonyl)benzyl]-2-(4 phenylpiperazine)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide (Humphreys et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 54 (1998), 22-32), adamantane derivatives (WO 99/29660, WO 99/29661, WO 00/61569, WO 01/42194, WO 01/44170, WO 01/44213, WO 01/94338, WO 03/041707, WO 03/042190, WO 03/080579, WO 04/074224, WO 05/014529, WO 06/025783, WO 06/059945), piperidine and piperazine compounds (WO 01/44213, WO 01/46200, WO 08/005,368), benzamide and heteroarylamide compounds (WO 03/042191, WO 04/058731, WO 04/058270, WO 04/099146, WO 05/019182, WO 06/003500, WO 06/003513, WO 06/067444), substituted tyrosine derivatives (WO 00/71529, WO 03/047515, WO 03/059353), imidazole compounds (WO 05/014555), amino-tetrazoles compounds (WO 05/111003), cyanoamidine (WO 06/017406), bicycloheteroaryl derivatives (WO 05/009968, WO 06/102588, WO 06/102610, WO 07/028.022, WO 07/109,154, WO 07/109,160, WO 07/109,172, WO 07/109,182, WO 07/109,192, WO 07/109,201), acylhydrazide (WO 06/110516), and other examples (WO 99/29686, WO 04/106305, WO 05/039590, WO 06/080884, WO 06/086229, WO 06/136004, WO 07/025,366, WO 07/056.046, WO 07/056.091, WO 07/141,267, WO 07/141,269, WO 08/003,697) are antagonists of P2X7R while Oxidized ATP (oATP) acts as an irreversible inhibitor of the receptor (Chen et al., J. Biol. Chem., 268 (1993), 8199-8203).

Consequently, there is strong evidence that compounds acting on P2X7R can be used in the treatment of pain, inflammatory processes, and degenerative conditions associated with disease states such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, airways hyper-responsiveness, septic shock, glomerulonephritis, irritable bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, atherosclerosis, growth and metastases of malignant cells, myoblastic leukaemia, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, depression, bipolar affective disorders, anxiety, meningitis, traumatic brain injury, acute spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, osteoporosis, burn injury, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and varicose veins.

Thus, the object on the present invention is to provide a novel series of compound which can inhibit P2X7R activity and can be used in the treatment of the above mentioned diseases.

The present invention also includes isotopically-labelled compounds, which are identical to those recited in Formula (I), but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass 25 number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, and ³⁵Cl, respectively. Compounds of the present invention, prodrugs thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or of said prodrugs which contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of this invention. Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H and ¹⁴C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., ²H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances.

Isotopically-labelled compounds of Formula (I) of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Examples below, by substituting a readily available isotopically-labelled reagent for a non-isotopically-labelled reagent.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those formed with anions such as those derived from hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, tartaric acids, etc., and those formed with cations such as those derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, ferric hydroxides, isopropylamine, triethylamine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine and procaine.

Further Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts

In an further embodiment the present application is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) of the present invention.

The pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may further comprise an additional active compound in separate or unit dosage form for simultaneous or sequential administration.

Inhibition of P2X7R activity by indol-3 carboxamide and azaindol-3 carboxamide compounds of the present invention can be assessed by measuring calcium influx in Hek293 cells (ECACC No. 85120602) which have been stably transfected with a cDNA for the human P2X7R.

The Hek293 cells are human embryo kidney cells that do not express endogenous P2X7R (Surprenant et al. (1996) Science 272:735-738). Hek293 cells expressing P2X7R were generated by lipofectamine transfection of the human P2X7R cDNA (Genbank accession number BC011913) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early (CMV) promoter and inserted into the pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen). Cells were cultivated at 37° C. with 8.5% CO2 in Dulbecco's modified eagles medium (DMEM; GibcoBRL/Invitrogen) supplemented with heat-inactivated foetal calf serum (10% v/v), 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, 0.1 mg/ml streptomycin, and 750 μg/ml Geneticin G418 (GibcoBRL/Invitrogen).

Inhibition of Bz-ATP-stimulated P2X7R by test compounds was monitored by measuring changes in calcium influx using the Fluo-4-AM fluorescent dye according to the manufacturer's recommendations (Molecular Devices Corporation, U.S.A.). Briefly, Hek293 cells expressing P2X7R were cultured in 96-well plates at a final density of approximately 10.000 cells per well. On the day of the experiment, the culture medium was completely removed from the wells and cells were washed one time in assay buffer (1× Hank's Balanced Salt (HBSS) solution containing 20 mM Hepes buffer pH 7.4 and 250 mM Probenecid; GibcoBRL/Invitrogen). The cells were incubated in 50 μl of assay buffer containing 100 μM Fluo-4 AM fluorescent dye per well for 1 hour at room temperature. The assay buffer containing the Fluo-4 AM fluorescent dye was then removed, the cells were washed once with assay buffer (without Fluo-4 AM), 100 μl of assay buffer (without Fluo-4 AM) containing the test compounds was then added per well. After a 15 minute incubation, 100 μM Bz-ATP was added and fluorescence was measured in a FlexStation II (Molecular Devices, U.S.A.) according to the following parameters: 485 nm Excitation Wavelength; 525 nm Emission Wavelength; 515 nm Emission Cut-off; 100 μl Pipette Height; 25 μl Transfer Volume; 5 fold Compound Concentration; 3 rate Addition Speed. Test compounds were added at concentrations of 0.013 μM up to 60 μM. The fluorescence data were processed using a lag time of 15 seconds, recording 45 seconds, zero baseline calibrated using 2 points, and % baseline multiplier set at 3. Then, the area of the resulting curve was calculated and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) for each test compound was determined using SoftMax Pro software (Molecular Devices, U.S.A.). Compounds of the present invention can inhibit P2X7R activity with an IC₅₀ between 1 μM and 0.001 μM. For example, the IC₅₀ of compound from Example 5 is approximately 0.134 μM.

Example 4 Indol-3 Carboxamide and Azaindol-3 Carboxamide Compounds Reduce Interleukin-1 Beta Secretion

The effects of indol-3 carboxamide and azaindol-3 carboxamide compounds of the present invention on IL-1 beta secretion is assessed using the human monocyte cell line THP-1 (ATCC Cat #285-IF-100).

Briefly, THP-1 cells are plated in 96 well plates at a concentration of 200,000 cells per well and allowed to differentiate in RPMI-1640 media (ATCC Cat #30-2001) containing 10% FBS, 100 IU/mL penicillin, 100 ug/mL streptomycin, 100 nM PMA (phorbol myristate acetate) for 72 hours. Under these conditions, THP-1 cells differentiate into macrophages expressing endogenous P2X7R. The compounds of the present invention are added to the cells at different concentrations and the differentiated cells are then stimulated for 4 hours with 1 ug/ml LPS (lipopolysaccharide) to activate IL-1 beta transcription (see Humphreys and Dubyak (1998) J Leukoc Biol. 64:265-73). Subsequently, IL-1 beta processing and secretion is stimulated by adding 2 mM ATP for 1 hour. The concentration of IL-1beta in the supernatants is then quantified by ELISA (R&D system) using specific monoclonal anti-human IL-1 beta antibodies according to the manufacturer instructions. More than 90% of the detected protein is biologically active mature IL-1 beta. Observed results were verified statistically using one-way ANOVA tests. Examples of reduced IL-1 beta secretion by the compounds of the invention are illustrated in FIG. 1.

Example 5 Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory Effects

This example illustrates the analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits of the compounds of the present invention using a carrageenan-induced paw edema model of inflammation.

Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were challenged by a subcutaneous injection of carrageenan (1% suspension, 0.1 ml), in the plantar side of the right hind paw. A suspension of the compound in 0.5% methyl cellulose or a vehicle (0.5% methyl cellulose) was administered orally one hour after the carrageenan challenge. The paw was then marked with indelible ink at the level of the lateral malleolus so that the paw can be immersed in the Plethysmometer cell up to this mark. A Plethysmometer allows the measurments of small volume changes in the paw. An hour after compound or vehicle administration (or 2 hr of carrageenan challenge), the plantar test was performed followed by the recording of paw volume.

For the plantar test, each rat was place on preheated glass stand. Both of the hind paws of the animal were stimulated with a radiant heat source. The latency of paw withdrawal from the stimuli was recorded. An increase in the response latency of paw withdrawal is interpreted as an analgesic response. Three trials were given to each animal in order to obtain an average withdrawal latency. The mean Paw Withdrawal Latency (PWL) of test group was compared with the vehicle treated group.

For the paw edema test, the increase in paw volume for each animal is calculated by subtracting left hind paw volume from right hind paw volume (Difference in Paw Volume=Right Hind paw volume−Left hind paw volume). An inhibition of the increase in paw volume is interpreted as an anti inflammatory response. Observed results were verified statistically using ANOVA Tukey's multiple comparison tests. Results are illustrated in FIG. 2.

A compound of the present invention was evaluated for increase in the paw withdrawal latency to respond to the heat stimulus which is indicative of an analgesic response.

A compound of the present invention was also evaluated for inhibition of paw edema induced by carrageenan which is interpreted as an anti-inflammatory response.
